Some guys will never ask for directions, and some guys just shouldn't. An example of the latter: The driver of an out-of-state pickup pulled over his truck in Washington, DC, about 2:30am Tuesday and approached a police officer to ask, "Where's the White House," reports the Washington Post. The officer saw a propane tank and what looked like an ammunition box in the truck, and a subsequent search turned up a .44-caliber revolver, a loaded .22-caliber rifle with a scope, a 7mm rifle, a 12-inch knife, and lots of ammunition.

Authorities aren't saying they think Oney was up to anything—he explained that he was just passing through while moving and wanted to see the sights. He's out of luck, though: A judge freed him yesterday with a warning to stay away from congressional buildings.
